Science, Industry and Business Library

The Science, Industry and Business Library (SIBL) was a research library within the New York Public Library (NYPL) system in New York City.[1] SIBL was created in 1996 when materials relating to science, business, and related fields were relocated from the Main Building (now the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building) to the former B. Altman and Company Building at Madison Avenue and East 34th Street in Midtown Manhattan.

In 2016, the NYPL announced that the SIBL would close after the completion of an upcoming renovation of the Mid-Manhattan Library.[2] The Mid-Manhattan Library, which reopened in 2020 as the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library,[3] contains a business center that replaces the SIBL's collection.[4]
